The Jets meanwhile are coming off a heartbreaking 3-2 loss at the hands of Adelaide United last time out.

Leading 2-1 heading into injury time, Newcastle conceded twice through Veronica Latsko and Isabel Hodgson as they slumped to their third loss in four outings to sit in second-last position on the ladder.

Despite a bad run of form Craig Deans’ charges are still in with a chance for post-season action with seven points to their name.

History points to an exciting match-up as this is a re-match of their thrilling Semi-Final last year, ending in a 3-2 win for the Sky Blues after extra time.
